About the book
"No marriage, no sale!" She had to say yes Sara was told by her father's girifriend that Prince Jabir Ibn Abdul al-Shakir had just purchased their debt-ridden hotel along with Sara's hand in marriage. And her father had given his blessing! Prince Jabir was a powerfully attractive man who would someday be king. He wanted a Western woman to act as his hostess and care for his two little girls. But to Jabir, love was a completely unnecessary preoccupation. Sara might share Jabir's Arabic kingdom, but she would never share her husband with the women of his world.
